Having. In all of the following Embodiments 1 to 14, the emphasis is on a child, but the invention invented for such a child is a life-saving device that is very easy to handle for adults at the same time. Of course. For example, if an adult loses consciousness by hitting his head when the water falls, such a life-saving device is essential. Providing multiple sizes of foldable floats according to physique, especially weight, will make them suitable for both children and adults. For this reason, the present invention also includes a folding storage type floating ring for adults, in which the size of the floating ring main body is particularly larger than that for children.

- the twelfth embodiment is based on any one of the first to ninth embodiments, and includes a floating ring main body portion 2101, a radar reflection portion 2103, a support portion 2102, a compressed gas holding portion 2104, and a compressed gas switch portion. 2105 and a folding storage type floating ring that also provides a strong force, and the characteristic point is that the reflecting portion is spherical.
- the basic functions of the floating ring main body, the radar reflector, the support, the compressed gas holding part, and the compressed gas switch are the same as those of any one of the first to ninth embodiments. Therefore, detailed description is omitted.
- the "radar reflector" of the twelfth embodiment is spherical. This spherical shape means a substantially spherical shape. It is desirable that the reflector means substantially inscribed in the spherical radar reflector be substantially circular. When the radar reflector is spherical, it is necessary that the radar reflector expands sufficiently and that the inscribed reflectors are completely deployed in an orthogonal fashion because the pressure acts evenly on the outer surface of the radar reflector. This is performed more reliably than a radar reflector having another shape. In addition, the wind pressure coefficient with respect to the found area is small, so that there is also an effect that the wind pressure is smaller than in the tenth or eleventh embodiment.
- FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining the thirteenth embodiment.
- the thirteenth embodiment is based on any one of the first to ninth embodiments and is based on a floating ring main body 2201, a radar reflection part 2203, a support part 2202, a compressed gas holding part 2204, and a compressed gas switch part. 2205 and a folding retractable floating ring that also provides a strong force.
- a characteristic point is that the radar reflecting portion has a surface formed of a reflective material.
- a feature of the present embodiment is that the surface of the radar reflector is formed of a reflector.
- the fact that the surface is made of reflective material means that the surface of the radar reflector reflects radar.
- the radar reflector has a cylindrical outer shape in the tenth embodiment, a prismatic shape in the eleventh embodiment, and a spherical shape in the twelfth embodiment, but these surfaces are made of a reflective material.
- FIG. 22 shows an example in which the radar reflector has the shape of a reflector.
- the radar reflector has a square-shaped reflector having an air chamber therein, and three reflectors are substantially orthogonal.
- the radar reflector is not limited to this shape.
- the square-shaped reflector may be a circular reflector.
- Such a radar reflector can form a radar reflector having a larger area with the same gas volume.
- FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating the fourteenth embodiment.
- the fourteenth embodiment is based on any one of the first to thirteenth embodiments, and
- a radar reflector 2303 a column 2302, a compressed gas holder 2304, a compressed gas switch 2305, and a folding retractable floating ring that also has a strong force. Part 2307 is further arranged.
- the "light emitting portion” emits light and is arranged on the uppermost portion of the reflecting portion. It is preferable that the light-emitting section is small in size and small in size and small in size even when folded.
- a low-power-consumption, high-brightness light-emitting diode (LED), discharge tube (flashlight), or EL light-emitting element may be used for the light-emitting unit.
- As the driving power source a combination of a storage battery and a solar cell may be used. Long-term lighting is possible with these combinations. Lighting of the light emitting unit can be performed automatically and manually.
- Automatic lighting may be implemented by incorporating a circuit that monitors the illuminance of the surrounding area with a photovoltaic cell or CDS in the lighting circuit of the light emitting unit.
- the manual lighting may be performed by using a magnetic sensor such as a Hall element or a reed switch and a magnet to perform lighting in a non-contact manner and exposing the switches to the outside.
- a magnetic sensor such as a Hall element or a reed switch and a magnet
- corrosion and the like of the switches due to moisture can be suppressed, and the reliability and life of the folding retractable floating ring can be improved.
- a fuel cell as a power source. Oxygen of the fuel cell can be obtained from the atmosphere, and hydrogen can be obtained from the high-pressure gas cylinder.
- a fluorescent paint may be applied to the radar reflection part.
- the fluorescent paint may be applied to a portion other than the radar reflection portion, that is, a column portion, a floating ring main body portion, and the like. When searching with a flashlight or searchlight at night, the light illuminates the fluorescent paint, making searching easier.
- the thirteenth embodiment has the effect that the presence of the light emitting unit enables the rescue to be performed more accurately and quickly by the signals of both the radar reflecting unit and the light emitting unit.
- a transmitter is provided in any one of Embodiments 1 to 13.
- the "transmitter” operates at the same time as the falling water.
- An antenna line may be built in the support portion or the cord portion. Further, an antenna may be built in the transmitter.
- the transmitter may also serve as a receiver, and the antenna line may also serve as both a transmitter and a receiver.
- the significance of this transmitter is that if a child is distressed, he / she can talk to resolve fear. In addition, this transmitter gives accurate instructions to a person who is unable to make a normal decision, and also has the effect of allowing the person to inform the rescuer of the location and situation at the time of the water fall. is there.
- the receiver is on board! /, The ship and the rescuer have! /, Te! / ,. This will reduce the time to rescue and increase the likelihood of help. It is also conceivable that a power source for activating the transmitter uses a fuel cell as in the thirteenth embodiment.
- the oxygen of the fuel cell is obtained from the atmosphere, and the hydrogen from the high-pressure gas holding unit is used for the hydrogen.
- the present embodiment has an effect of notifying the rescuer that the water has fallen. If the signal is sent to the ship on board and the rescuer, the signal of the waterfall can be received immediately after the waterfall, so the search may be performed quickly and the rescue may be performed. Increase.
- folding storage type floating ring of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. Further, the folding retractable type floating ring is not limited to a child type, but may be an adult type. Industrial applicability
- the folding retractable float of the present invention can also be used for applications such as emergency landing of an aircraft on the sea surface, which can be used not only as a general life-saving tool when a force such as a ship falls.
